-### `FORMAT and ENCODE options`
-
-At present, combined with the `ALTER SOURCE` command, you can refresh the schema registry of a source by refilling the FORMAT and ENCODE options. For more details about these options, see [FORMAT and ENCODE parameters](/ingestion/format-and-encode-parameters).
-
-```sql
-ALTER SOURCE source_name FORMAT data_format ENCODE data_encode [ (
- message='message',
- schema.location='location', ...) ];
-```
-
-Here is an example. Let's assume the original FORMAT and ENCODE options are as follows:
-
-```sql
--- Create a source.
-CREATE SOURCE src_user WITH (
- connector = 'kafka',
- topic = 'sr_pb_test',
- properties.bootstrap.server = 'message_queue:29092',
- scan.startup.mode = 'earliest'
-)
-FORMAT PLAIN ENCODE PROTOBUF(
- schema.registry = 'http://message_queue:8081',
- message = 'test.User');
-```
-
-Then you can refresh the schema registry by the following command:
-
-```sql
-ALTER SOURCE src_user FORMAT PLAIN ENCODE PROTOBUF(
- schema.registry = 'http://message_queue:8081',
- message = 'test.UserWithMoreFields'
-);
-```
-
-
-Currently, it is not supported to modify the `data_format` and `data_encode`. Furthermore, when refreshing the schema registry of a source, it is not allowed to drop columns or change types.
-
-Another way of refreshing the schema is using the [REFRESH SCHEMA clause](#refresh-schema).
-
-
-### `REFRESH SCHEMA`
-
-This is another way of refreshing the schema of sources when the [FORMAT and ENCODE options](#format-and-encode-options) are not changed.
-
-```sql
-ALTER SOURCE source_name REFRESH SCHEMA;

-
-For example, assume we have a source as follows:
